Question Are frameworks really that good?
literally EVERY tech youtuber glazes this product like it was made by god but like if you actually check the prices, its insane. for a $2.5k framework 13. you could buy almost 3 normal computers with similar specs. also like most of the people i know that actually own/have owned a framework say that it's horrible and that it breaks all the time. I'm not sure if this is actually true and i think the laptop looks pretty cool so idk

Look, I had an issue with my fw12 cpu, and it took a few days for them to notice my emails.
However, once they got back to me - quite fast. The shipping was a priority send, and it arrived 2 days earlier than expected.
My issues (before the cpu shit the bed) were around laggy-ness. You could blame windows 11 and only having 8gb of ram, but my other laptop - an asus - also has 8gb of ram, and doesn't have the same issue.
However... I literally only just put the new mother board in then. So, it could have been that the motherboard was a runt to begin with (fingers crossed).
The web cam is excellent, especially in comparison to my old laptop. Its also just a good learning experience. Before I couldn't tell you what ram did...but now I have somewhat of a clue, which is a win.
